IPAPER REGEPTACLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 1c, 1908.

Application filed March 27, 1907. Serial No. 364,806.

improved sanitary and antiseptic vessel which is intended to be used only once and then destroyed, the article beingsuch that it a can be manufactured and supplied at a less expense than the cost of supplying glass bottles and cleaning or sterilizing the same after each usage.

The invention comprises a cylindrical vessel made of paper, paste-board or the like and provided with improved means for holding the top and bottom in place and for producing a liquid-tight oint between said to and bottom and the side walls of the vesse The invention is illustrated in the accom panying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the de- Fig. 2 is a central vertical section with the top and bottomdetached.

Referring specifically to the drawings, the body 9 of the vessel is a cylinder made of paper, paste-board or the like; and provided with a bottom 7 and a top or cover 6. These parts are coated or saturated with parafiin or similar waxy or oily substance for the pur ose of rendering thesame impermeable to iquids.

The bottom, 7, consists of a disk of heavy paste-board, cut and pressed to proper shape and provided around its edge witha circumferential rib 11 which fits in the groove of a bead 10 pressed in the lower end of the wall of the body. Below the bead the wall is cor- I'ugated as at 16, and the edge of the bottom below the rib 11 is similarly corrugated as at 22, and these corrugations fittogether and as sist in forming awater-tight joint and in retaining the bottom in place. i

The top, 6, consists of a similar disk of heavy paste-board provided with a circumferential rib 12 which fits in a bead 17 near the top of the body. The cover and top end i of the body may be corrugated or not, as desired, in a manner similar to the body, but ordinarily the corrugations will be unnecessary.

When the body and the bottom are assembled the edge of the disk 7 is coated with flour paste or similar adhesive substance, and the bottom is then pressed into its seat, where'it is held by the adhesive which also closes the joint and prevents leakage therethrough. The cover 6 may if desired be similarly coated around the edge with adhesive, and after the milk or other liquid is placed in the vessel the cover is pressed into place. This forms aliquid-tight vessel well adapted for the delivery of milk and the like and having the advantage over a glass bottle that it will only be used once for the purpose and can then be thrown away. The size and shape may be modified according to choice or necessity.

It will be noticed that the rib' is of less width than the thickness of the cover or bottom, so that two shoulders are formed on opposite sides of the rib which contact witlnthe side wall of the receptacle above and below the rib so that a wider and therefore safer joint is formed than if the only point of contact were around the edge of the rib.

' I claim 1. A receptacle having a body and an end piece therefor, the body having a bead around the same, and the end piece comprising a disk having a rib fitting in the groove of the bead, the rib being of less thickness than the width of the disk, forming a shoulder which contacts with the body, said shoulder and the adjacent part of the body having interfitting corrugations which extend at a right angle to the plane of the disk.

2. A receptacle having a cylindrical body provided with a bead near the end thereof and axial corrugations extending around the same beside said'bead, an a disk having a rib around the-edge, and corrugations formed in the edge of the disk adjacent said rib, the rib and corrugations fitting in said bead and.

corrugations respectively.

\ In testimony whereof I afli'x my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
